Miss Robin Crusoe is a 1954 Eastmancolor adventure film directed by Eugene Frenke, starring Amanda Blake, George Nader and Rosalind Hayes. One of many film variations of Robinson Crusoe, it features a female castaway. The film was shot on location in Palos Verdes, California.
When a party of savages shows up with two women captives, she watches from hiding as they execute one in gruesome fashion. She then rescues the other Rosalind Hayes, and the two fight off the men with the aid of her flintlock. She names her new companion Friday, as that was the day of her rescue. The two women become friends.In December, Royal Navy officer Jonathan George Nader washes ashore. Robins experiences with lecherous sailors and her cruel father have embittered her against men, and she is hostile and suspicious at first. When Jonathan learns that she is repairing a longboat that can hold only two, he suggests that the fittest take it, and send help back for Friday. Robin, however, insists she and Friday will use the boat. Eventually, Robin overcomes her prejudice against him, and they spend the night together. The next morning, she awakens to find he has stolen the longboat and is sailing away. ........
